Description

VIG unit and/or its preparation method containing infrared fusible glass dust
Technical field
Certain embodiments of the present invention is the limit Sealing Technology about vacuum insulated glass building (vacuuminsulatingglass (VIG)) parts.Especially certain embodiments of the present invention relates to increasing the amount being used for forming the ferrous oxide (Ferrousoxide) that limit seals in glass dust (glassfrits) (such as lead-free glass powder), so that the amount that glass dust absorbs infra-red radiation increases.The technical merit of some preferred embodiment can make limit seal process shorten to several minutes from a few hours.Additionally the technology of some embodiment is likely to some or all of vacuum insulation assemblies are exposed to infrared radiation source (infraredsource (s)), because the ratio substrate of glass dust heating is fast, thus can reduce first substrate and/or second substrate fusing and lose the probability of heat treatment (HT) stress (such as temper stress (temperstrength)).In certain embodiments, coefficient (frit ' the sglassredox) (FeO/Fe of the glass redox reaction degree of glass dust2O3) it is preferably at least the coefficient (FeO/Fe of the glass redox reaction degree than any one (or higher that) substrate2O3) high by about 0.02, more preferably at least than the coefficient (FeO/Fe of the glass redox reaction degree of any one (or higher that) substrate2O3) high by about 0.04, and it most preferably is the coefficient (FeO/Fe of the glass redox reaction degree than any one (or higher that) substrate2O3) high by about 0.06.
Background technology
VIG unit is well known in the art.Such as, it just has disclosure in american documentation literature, and the patent No. listed below is 5,664,395,5657,607 and 5, and the american documentation literature of 902,652 can be for referencial use.
Fig. 1-2 illustrates common vacuum insulated glass building (VIG) parts.VIG unit 1 includes the glass substrate 2 and 3 at two intervals, surrounds evacuation of air or low pressure space between the two glass substrate.The arrangement that sheet glass/substrate 2 and 3 is sealed with pillar or partition 5 by peripheral seal or the limit of fusion weld glass (fusedsolderglass) 4 connects each other.
Pumping pipe 8 and be soldered glass 9 tight seal to hole 10, this hole 10 is the bottom that the inner surface from sheet glass 2 passes to the depression position 11 being positioned at sheet glass 2 outer surface.Air exhauster (vacuum) is connected to and pumps pipe 8 in order to evacuate the internal cavities between substrate 2 and 3, thus so as to producing area of low pressure or low-voltage space 6.After evacuation, pipe 8 is melted so that vacuum seals.Depression position retains the pipe 8 sealed.Also chemical absorbent (getter) 12 can be provided with inside depression position 13.
Manufacture is as follows with the process of the conventional vacuum IG unit that fusion weld glass envelope seals 4.Glass dust in solution (finally can form melten glass limit and seal 4) is initially deposited on the periphery around substrate 2.Another substrate 3 is put into the above partition 5 and described glass dust/solution to be pressed from both sides between which of substrate 2.Be heated to the temperature of about 500 DEG C including the described whole assembly of sheet 2, sheet 3, partition and encapsulant, on this temperature spot, after described glass powder, infiltration to the surface of described sheet glass 2,3 and ultimately forms peripheral seal or limit seals 4.This temperature of about 500 DEG C is kept one to eight hours.After described peripheral/edge seal 4 and the sealing around pipe 8 are formed, described assembly is cooled to room temperature.It is to be noted and illustrate that on the hurdle 2 of american documentation literature (patent No. is 5,664,395) temperature that the treatment temperature of conventional vacuum insulating glass is about at 500 DEG C keeps one hour.The inventor Corinth (Collins) of above-mentioned patent by human relations once, Tener and Corinth (Lenzen, Turner and Collins) " ThermalOutgassingofVacuumGlazing " that make points out " current limit sealing technology process is very slow: the temperature of sample generally rises 200 DEG C per hour; and the certain value within the scope of from 430 DEG C to 530 DEG C keeps one hour, described definite value changes according to the difference of the composition of melten glass ".Limit forms low-voltage space 6 by described pipe evacuation after sealing 4 formation.
Unfortunately, people form high temperature residing when limit seals 4 and long heat time heating time without wishing to occurring in described whole assembly, when especially needing to use hot reinforced glass substrate 2,3 or reinforced glass substrate 2,3 in described VIG unit.As shown in Figure 3-4, safety glass loses temper stress with the heat time heating time being exposed in high temperature.And, low-emission coated (low-Ecoating (s)) is very disadvantageous by so high treatment temperature, described low-emission coated may be used on one or two described glass substrate in some cases.
Fig. 3 illustrates complete hot armorplate glass is how to expose, in different time sections, the chart losing initial temper stress at different temperatures, and wherein initial center tension is per inch 3200MU.X-axis in Fig. 3 is exponentially with hour for unit express time (from 1 hour to 1000 hours), and y-axis represents is the percentage ratio of the initial temper stress retained after beat exposure.The chart of Fig. 4 is similar to Fig. 3, simply the x-axis in Fig. 4 exponentially extend from zero to one hour different.
Shown in Fig. 37 different curves, each curve represents the different temperatures (representing (°F) with degrees Fahrenheit) being exposed to.Described different curve/line is 400 °F (being arranged in the top of Fig. 3 chart), 500 °F, 600 °F, 700 °F, 800 °F, 900 °F and 950 °F (being arranged in the bottom of Fig. 3 chart).900 °F are equivalent to 482 DEG C, and it is in Fig. 1-2 and is formed within the scope that aforementioned normal melt glass envelope seals 4.Therefore it is noted that Fig. 3 is numbered the curve of 900 °F of 18.As shown, at this temperature the temper stress that (900 °F or 482 DEG C) remained through 1 hour is only initial 20%.So serious temper stress (temperstrength) loss (such as 80%) yes it is undesirable that.
In figures 3-4, it is pointed out that compared with keeping 1 hour with at 900 °F, in time hot tempering sheet being heated to 800 °F (about 428 DEG C) and keeps one hour, be retained in temper stress therein much bigger.After keeping 1 hour under 800 °F, such sheet glass remains with the initial temper stress of 70%, and this situation is substantially better than the initial temper stress less than 20% keeping the time of identical length to retain under 900 °F.
Except need not by whole parts heat the long time another advantage is that the stay material that can use lower temperature.This is perhaps needs in some cases.
Even with non-reinforced glass substrate, the high temperature being applied on described whole vacuum insulated glass building assembly may melt described glass or introduce stress.These stress may increase described glass deformation and/or the probability broken.
Sometimes use unleaded powder to form limit to seal.Although having the unleaded powder of a lot of reasons advantageous applications (such as from the angle of protection environment), but the use that unleaded powder seals as the limit of VIG unit being pretty troublesome sometimes.Such as, it is believed that the fusing point of the obtainable unleaded powder of current all commercial sources is all located in the scope of 500 DEG C to 600 DEG C.It is known that the softening point (softeningpoint) of the close soda-lime glass (sodalimeglass) possibly serving for glass substrate in described VIG unit of these temperature.It is therefore desirable to the technique currently melting unleaded powder generally can not soften the described substrate finally constituting described VIG unit.It addition, described substrate is exposed in so high temperature generally causes them and loses at least some of stress obtained in heat treatment (HT) period.Such as, tempering soda-lime glass substrate actually can lose tempering effect (de-temper) sometimes at some temperature.Additionally, the manufacture process of described VIG unit generally expends the long period, need to reach these high temperature within the time period and then cool down again.Correspondingly, common unleaded powder can cause some or all of problem same or analogous with the problems referred to above.
Therefore, it is required for providing the limit of well-formed to seal between relative sheet glass for VIG unit and manufacture method thereof technically.VIG unit for including safety glass sheet is also required to form peripheral seal technically, so that the reservation of described sheet glass is than the more initial temper stress using conventional vacuum insulating glass manufacturing technology to obtain, in order to form the sealing of melten glass limit, whole parts are heated in described conventional vacuum insulating glass manufacturing technology.To manufacturing unleaded powder and/or being also highly desirable by the improvement in the method in unleaded power applications to vacuum insulated glass building.

Detailed description of the invention
Certain embodiments of the present invention relates to peripheral seal or the limit sealing of the improvement of vacuum insulated glass building window component and/or its preparation method." periphery " and " limit " herein seals and does not refer to that described sealing is exactly on the absolute periphery being positioned at described parts or limit, and refers at least part of limit being located near or at (such as in about two inch range) described at least one substrate of parts of described sealing.Similarly, " limit " described herein is also not necessarily limited to the limit that glass substrate is absolute, and refers to and can include being positioned on the absolute limit of described substrate or the region of neighbouring (such as at about two inch range).Further, " the vacuum insulated glass building assembly " said here refers to that the limit of described vacuum insulated glass building is sealed the intermediate products being evacuated before (evacuation) described depression position with it, for instance it substrate including two parallel spaced apart and glass dust.Have again when described glass dust be referred to herein as at one or more than one described substrate " on ", or by one or more than one described during substrate institute " support ", this does not mean that described glass dust must be directly touch described substrate yet.That is " on " contain directly and on non-direct contact, even if therefore also having other materials (such as coating layer and/or thin film) between described substrate and described glass dust, it is also possible to think that glass dust is on substrate.
The time forming some process that limit seals preferably is shortened to several minutes from a few hours by certain embodiments of the present invention.Certain embodiments of the present invention, it is also preferred that make the substrate of final vacuum insulated glass building product retain more heat treatment stress (such as temper stress), also simplifies the set-up procedure of manufacture simultaneously.
In certain embodiments ferrum oxide (ironoxide) is joined in the formula of existing glass dust.This makes described glass dust enhance the ability that absorption infrared energy (wave-length coverage of such as absorbed energy is 0.9-1.2 micron) radiates in the seal process of described limit.More particularly, the present inventor accounts for, by adjusting ferrous oxide (ferrousoxide), the advantage that the ratio of ferrum oxide total amount achieves some embodiment in the preparation process of described VIG unit.
In described glass and its colorant potion the total amount of ferrum according to general custom at this with Fe2O3Form embody.But this is not say that all of ferrum is essentially all with Fe2O3Form exist.Similarly, even if the ferrum of ferrous state is likely to be not all exist with the form of FeO in described glass, but the total amount of the ferrum of ferrous state (ferrousstate, i.e. ferrous iron) is expressed as the form of FeO at this.The ferrum (such as FeO) of described ferrous state accounts for the ratio of total amount ferrum for determining the state (such as, the redox condition coefficient (glassredox) of glass) of the redox condition of described glass.At this, the redox condition coefficient table of glass is shown as FeO/Fe2O3Ratio, its percentage by weight (%) shared by ferrum being ferrous state (being expressed as FeO) (is expressed as Fe than the total amount of upper ferrum2O3) shared by percentage by weight (%).Therefore, Fe2O3Represent total iron at this, and FeO represents with the ferrum that ferrous state exists.Ferrous state (Fe2+;FeO) ferrum is blue-green coloring agent, and ferric state (Fe3+) ferrum of (ferricstate) is yellow-green coloring agent.
Above-mentioned is the definition of the redox condition coefficient to glass.But, the redox condition coefficient of batch redox condition coefficient (batchredox) and glass is different.A batch redox condition coefficient known in the art is generally based on following definition.Every kind of composition in batch is all assigned with a redox condition coefficient value, and described batch redox condition coefficient is to be calculated by the sum of above-mentioned coefficient value to get.Described calculating is based in every 2000 kilograms of sands the amount of composition.Described batch of redox condition coefficient value is for calculating glass preparation (such as from described batch) is front.To how determining that " batch redox condition coefficient " has detailed discussion in the redox condition coefficient value concept shown by glass technology expert W. Simpson and D.D. mayer (W.SimpsonandD.D.Myers) and application (Theredoxnumberconceptanditsuse) (1977 or 1978) thereof, using its full disclosure in this as reference.On the contrary, as previously mentioned, the redox condition coefficient of described glass is calculated by spectroscopic data (spectraldata) after glass preparation, and it accounts for the percent ratio (such as passing through spectrum) (through chemical analysis) of total iron-holder in glass for FeO.
Table below includes in some embodiment with iron content (Fe total in the wavelength transfer of heat correspondence glass dust of 1000 nanometers (nm)2O3Weight relative to the gross weight of glass).Similarly, Fig. 5 transmits corresponding total iron-holder with the heat of the wavelength of 1000 nanometers (nm).
